| RIP - Aretha Franklin @tim_p - I know you’re making it up. Ask me how I know. He’s walking around in my backyard as I type ... | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin @roxy54 take it easy man! No need to get mean. | |
| Tuning my system towards a darker tone @mahgister — you continue to spread so many nuggets of infinite audio wisdom. Yet I never see anyone thanking you or showing even a modicum of gratitude. What gives? | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin It’s not me, it’s the ambien typing. I swear! | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @mapman Please do post your impressions when you can. BTW, Steve Guttenberg awarded these speakers the product of the year award. Great achievement, and luck you! | |
| Speaker upgrade @bpoletti While we're at it, why not add a life-sized replica of zebras and a couple of bobcats in prowling posture to complete the ambiance. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab @millercarbon -- about two years ago, a local craigslist ad popped up for ferrari red Tekton DI's. I went for an audition, and actually was quite impressed. At the time I didn't have a dedicated listening room, and my wife just let out a big "hell... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... @yyzsantabarbara Thanks. I found that since I have a nice two channel system in my study I'm rarely if ever listening to headphones. I think you made the right move with the Empy since it has a laid back approach to sound which, at least in my opi... | |
| The problem with Magicos @kenjit You might be on to something. I tell you what keeps me up at night is that one of these days someone will try to pair them up with schiit audio. At that point, the noise trapped inside the speakers would get so flatulent that they might ex... | |
| Speaker upgrade @erik_squires You have been preaching about room acoustics and treatments for a long time. I finally took your advice and ordered a few treatments from GIK. If I don't like them I will be sending the invoice to you ... j/k | |
| Which speakers to be ''in'' the music? OP -- Based on what you're describing, what you want is the holographic, three dimensional sound of tubes. I don't know what amplification you're using, but have you considered getting a tube amplifier and staying with your current speakers? | |
| Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3? I owned the Parasound A21 for two years. For whatever reason, I never warmed up to it. It's good value for the money, but if you can stretch your budget there are better options out there. Of course, I'm mindful of the fact that it could have been... | |
| Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh Sorry I meant to say Cerious power cord, not speaker cables. | |
| Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh @ryder You are absolutely on point! The Luxman is definitely sensitive to cable changes. I have had the Cerious speaker cables for a few years now. I originally bought them when I used to have Parasound A21. When I replaced the stock cord with the... | |
| Integrated amp -- Pass Labs vs Luxman vs McIntosh Hi @jjss49 Regarding ARC supplied power cords, I had the same question. In fact, the new buyer reached out to me and was wondering why I didn't include the original cord. I reached out to ARC customer service directly, and they told me that the GS... |
